Right Through Me

A day with Grumpy Bear

             "Why do I have to go with him?"  I whine. "He doesn't even like meeee." I fake cry. Takano crosses his arms and looks down at me.

      "It's part of your job, newbie."

"No, my job is to work in my office. I never signed up for going out to get manuscripts!" I pout again. He shakes his head and just walks to his desk.

"Just deal with it. I'm the boss here." And with that he ignores me. I throw my hands up and walk out the room. Once I get to the hallway, I sigh and put my hands.

"Damned demon boss..." I say under my breath.

"Don't let him hear you say that. He might fire you."

"WHAT THE FUZZ?!" I turn around and come face to face with Mino. I put my hand on my pounding chest.

"Gosh! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I pout at him. He smiles.....I swear, that smile is permanent.

"I feel like you easily get scared when I come around." I playfully glare at him.

"It's because you always come at random times." I laugh lightly. He chuckles and leans in a bit too close to my face.

"It's not my fault, I just can't seem to get away from your beauty." I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Why, Mino. Are you flirting with me?" I ask sarcastically. He leans even closer and puts his arm on the wall over my head.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I scoff. He leans closer and I can smell his Cologne, which smells nice. I have to admit, he is fine as hell.....but I can't have him. I push him back and lean off the wall.

     "I gotta go meet Yokozawa. See ya!" I say and run off towards the elevator. Calm down, Alex. You can't like him like that.

      "What took you so long?" Yokozawa says to me. I smile up at him.

     "I missed you too, Grumpy bear." He glares at me.

     "I thought I told you not to call me that." I shrug my shoulders.

     "I call it as I see it. Anyway, where to?" I turn towards the door and walking out, him following behind me.

      "We have to go to the coffee shop to meet the author." He starts walking down the street. I run to catch up.

     "Slow down, Grumpy bear! I'm too short to keep up with you!" He just ignores me, so I look up at him. He may have a naturally mean face, but is that a small smile I see on his face? OH MY GOD! It is!!!!

     I yell a small victory inside my head and continue walking with him.

*time skip: at the coffee shop*

       "Where the hell is she?" Yokozawa says under his breath. I look over at him.

      "Calm down. I'm sure she'll be here soon."

     "You said that and hour ago." He glares at the table. I sigh.

     It's true though, we've been waiting here for over an hour and it's starting to get dark. My phone died when we got here, so I already know Auska is pissed. I sigh again and put my hand on my right shoulder, where one of my bruises are.

      "Why do you keep doing that?" I turn my head and look at Yokozawa.

      "Doing what?" He points to my shoulder.
